In the spring of Hetao, the temperature is still slightly cold, and the temperature difference is very large, especially the cold wind in the morning and evening is very difficult.

Zhao Lianhe was naked, and his mother-in-law was desperately driving the cattle and ploughing his own fields. He is now a private in the Cavalry Division of the Northwest Field Army of the Far Eastern Military Commission.

Because he had a family, Zhao Lianhe's mother-in-law and two children also became military dependents, and the Hetao base area not only distributed farmland for his family, but also distributed housing, farm tools, cattle, surplus grain, seeds, clothes, pots and pans, and other daily necessities. Officers and soldiers with family members will return home to help their families carry out spring ploughing during the spring ploughing period.

Since Zhao Lianhe was selected into the Northwest Field Army of the Far Eastern Army, their family has undergone earth-shaking changes. The houses assigned to them in the Hetao base were only two simple civil and engineering houses, but they were much better than their previous homes.

The houses allocated by the company for the newly resettled displaced people are still a little different from the woodcut flutes in the northeast. Although the vegetation in the Hetao area was extremely abundant at this time, the forest coverage rate was not comparable to that of the northeast region.

In order to ensure the construction of more houses for displaced people in the future and protect the soil and water conservation on both sides of the Yellow River, the base area can only reduce the consumption of timber for building houses. The experts and technicians of the local infrastructure office specially designed the current civil structure of the house.

The structure of the house is still made of wood, but instead of arranging logs, the number of logs is minimized, and the corn stalks are used to fill the gaps between the logs and the corn stalks with moss, and then plastered with yellow mud mixed with hay. It not only saves a lot of logs, but also ensures the cold-proof effect of the house.

In order to save costs and construction time, this kind of civil engineering house is still designed with 10 rooms in a row. There are two master bedrooms in the front and back, and a kitchen with a stove at the outermost. The two bedrooms are not large, and they are connected to a fire kang with a bunk. It was covered with large pieces of felt.

The northern part of the Hetao base area is the Monan grassland, and each herdsman detachment produces a large number of wool products every year, so the base area has the conditions to distribute a large number of felt for each household, and this condition can be described as unique, even if the newly resettled displaced people in Liaodong are not so generous.

The facilities in the house are basic, except for a dining table. A few chairs, and the rest are some rough wooden shelves, cabinets. But other daily necessities are much worse than the rest of the company.

Each house has a large iron pot, two large water tanks, and four jars. In addition, there is no shortage of daily necessities such as cotton clothes covers, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, scissors and kitchen knives, but they can all be saved and can cope with life.

The surplus grain allocated to each family in the base area is mainly wheat and dried sweet potatoes, which are distributed according to the capita, which is enough for the family to eat until the autumn harvest. But the quantity is not surplus, anyway, if you don't count it, it will definitely not be enough to eat.

Curved ploughs, shovels, sickles, pickaxes and hoes are of average quality but have a wide range of agricultural tools. Household axes, hammers, and other daily tools are also equipped with a set.

The most important thing on the grassland is cattle and sheep. Each family was given a ploughing ox and two lambs, as well as a two-wheeled carriage. Compared with the luxurious carriages in Liaodong, the two-wheeled carriages in the Hetao base area are much shabby, with no steel axles, iron frame bodies, bearings, leaf springs, etc., in fact, they are composed of a wooden body, wheels and axles, and they can barely be used.

A small courtyard was built in the front and back of each house, and a simple granary and cowshed were built in the front yard, and some poultry and livestock could be raised or vegetables could be grown in the backyard. Each row of houses has a public toilet for men and women. Ten households take turns to clean up, and the excrement is shared by everyone. It is used as a raw material for making soil farm fertilizer.

Each squadron was equipped with two wells cut out of bricks to provide water for the squadron's 100 households. Because the water quality in the Hetao area contains a large amount of sediment, two filtration devices have been installed next to each well to filter out the sediment in the water.

The way in which the displaced people are resettled in the Hetao base area is the same as in other areas of the company, and the displaced people are before the resettlement. A loan agreement will be signed. Although the resettlement conditions cannot be compared with those in Liaodong, the repayment is exactly the same, and it seems that there is no discipline.

There is no way, the conditions in the Hetao base area are so difficult, and the shortage of materials is extremely scarce. Doing so is exhausting. Taking into account factors such as regional differences, exchange rate differences, operating costs, transportation costs, etc., everyone will also feel at ease and think that it is not excessive.

Zhao Lianhe's family enjoys the treatment of military dependents, so the materials distributed in the base area are more abundant than others. First of all, the standard of surplus grain is 30% higher than others, anyway, Zhao Lianhe's mother-in-law and the two bear children at home have enough to eat.

Then there is the quality of daily necessities such as clothes and covers, farm tools and tools, and even the ploughing cattle are the strongest. When it comes to the New Year's Festival, there can be a lot of holiday benefits, the most enviable, is free medical services, once you encounter a serious illness, you can even send it to the general hospital of the Northwest Field Army for treatment.

Officers and men of the Northwest Field Army who have family members in the base areas will be given a holiday to help their families harvest wheat when they catch up with spring plowing and autumn harvest. If the officers and soldiers of the unit go out to fight or train, the local grassroots detachment will send people to help the families of military families. Anyway, as a soldier in the Far Eastern Army, you don't have any worries, you just concentrate on training and fighting, and the troops think of everything.

After plowing a ridge of land, Zhao Lianhe wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the mother-in-law next to him: "Rest for a while, and then ...... later."

The woman was also a little tired and panting, and followed the family to find a place to sit on the ground, and the woman took the shirt intimately and helped him drape it on his body. The two crazy bear children next to them sensibly brought a teapot and a tea bowl for their father and mother, and helped the two of them pour water.

Zhao Lianhe took the water bowl handed over by his son, "Goo...... ......"I looked up and drank a bowl." He wiped his mouth after drinking, then took out the dry tobacco pouch and smoked a bag of cigarettes while watching the two bear children roll in the field.

The Far Eastern Military Commission also has a lot of very bad habits, such as general smoking and drinking. Far Eastern Company's tobacco factories and distilleries are expanding year by year, and their output is also increasing. However, it was still unable to meet the company's internal needs.

The biggest consumption every year is export, followed by the Military Commission. Now the troops are full of big smokers and big drunkards from top to bottom. In addition, there are special special supplies of cigarettes and liquor within the troops. Although the conditions in the Hetao base area were the most difficult, tobacco bags, pots and tobacco leaves were still provided for a group of big smokers to satisfy their hunger.

Even now, Li Ming, Hu Wei, and other members of the Standing Committee of the base management committee have simply stopped smoking cigarettes, and each of them has a cigarette pouch and pot, and when they smoke together, it is like a group of village cadres holding a meeting. (To be continued.) )
